What am I missing?

I have self-funded my small business for over four years now, while raising my family. We've helped hundreds of people - but have yet to experience the growth we need do to a shortage of marketing and operating funds. My credit is decent but yet its like getting a SBA loan is ALWAYS just out of our grasps. Business plan is done and solid, but yet we cant seem to find a way to turn our dreams into lasting success. Its amazing $250K would change our worlds and launch us on a higher platform and even allow us to employ others - but it might as well be $25 million, because I cant seem to connect the dots for loan approval success. What am I missing?

    Hi Koddi- This discussion forum is related to the video contest. If you're interested in discussing SBA loan programs, you can check out SBA's online community at www.sba.gov/community. Also, we always advise that you connect with your local SBA office. They can refer you to a business counselor to talk about your specific situation. You can find your local office at www.sba.gov/direct. -SteveM, SBA Moderator
